This year there’s no Dani to celebrate with. Sammy visits his dad a lot more often and every time tries to convince him to move in with him, Sallie and the kids. Niall won’t listen to them, he refuses to leave the house that Dani and him shared. Today, on her birthday he makes his way the cemetery and walks over to her grave. He pulls out a red box. Opens it and puts it on her grave. “Happy Birthday,” he whispers softly, “It’s tradition.”
